If you are familiar with the movie Ratatouille, Baked Eggplant Parmesan is a reminiscent of a dish prepared by Remy for food critic Anton Ego. My son requested me to cook this again when I mentioned that I did this already 6 years ago. He did not taste it then because he does not like it. The sight of the layered eggplant, tomatoes and cheese is not appealing to him yet. Now that his palate is a little more adventurous (he eats the mushrooms and olives already from the pizza), he ask me to cook it again. True enough, he tasted it and said that it is delicious.
